The Lord Caught Me Young...Must Be Fruitful For Him
by SIXTUS ONYEANUSI He caught me young, but most times I wish it was younger. One morning while on my way rushing to school where I was teaching, God said to me, ''The best thing that could happen to a youth is to know Jesus''. He explained, ''because the youth is still on the foundation of His destination, and many untapped and unborn seeds are yet in his loins-his generation has more chances of taking the right path if he walks into Jesus who's the Way, Truth and Life.'' Oh, Holy One, so true Lord. "Want to see a miracle? Look at my life! Saved, healed, delivered by the power of Jesus Christ!"-- Dave Mallender Dear Dave, maybe I'm the one you're talking about...I'm the one who's a walking miracle;I'm a testimony of what the work of Redeeming Grace could do. The Lord Jesus got me healed and filled! He went to the pinnacle of miracle for me. Anyone that sees me perceives the finished work of Christ on the cross. The difference is clear since I carry His Presence-bearing in my body the mark of Christ. His Spirit of Glory rests upon me. He's made my life so beautiful. Seeing all these wondrous work of love and great and far exceeding benefits of personally knowing And sincerely serving Jesus, and much more yet untapped and untold in Heaven, tell me, why would I change my mind from following HIM? Why shouldn't I abide in Him? Why would I stop loving Him? Why would I stop suffering for Him? Oh Sixtus you are inexcusable...Jesus has given you the best of His exceeding and succeeding Grace! My life is a constant flow of the miraculous! Jesus caught me young, but at times I wish I had been caught younger, so that I wouldn't have for once tasted and tested the filth prevalent in the youth age! But all the same, thanks to Jesus who loves me even when I was without strength and faith...wandering in the wilderness of unholiness. His Amazing Grace appeared and lifted me far above all principalities of flesh, sin, self, the world, Satan, death, sickness, weakness, failures, grave and fear. I'm a brand new man recreated in His likeness of beauty and purity. Praise God! Yes Hallelujah, but now, the big question, is, ''must I go empty handed to meet my Blessed and Once bruised and bleeding Saviour? Not one soul to meet Him with? No matter what age we got saved, we can still be fruitful in His hand if we pour out all our being into His Divine Commission unreserved! It's a big shame standing before His Throne of dominion all alone...won't even be bold...shouldn't expect any crown...tis a double tragedy of wasted years and Grace after all the chances I'm having to make Christ known and plant His Presence in many places! Woe is me if i fail Jesus after all He's given for me, to me, done for me and still doing for me.
